The Code prohibits taking advantage of women or just outright forcing them. That's not very peaceful. Also, now maybe you can use that loophole to be with Padmé. Also, even if you did marry Padmé and did alter the Code, maybe if you could claim that you defeated the Dark Lord of the Sith by thinking about Padmé, the no attachment rule would be repealed even by Yoda and Mace. Personally, even Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura and some of your other supporters favor the no attachment rule. And Yoda is very strict on the Code. Qui-Gon wanted to train you, but Yoda said he can't, and Mace is hardly better. "The Code forbids it". That Code has been the reason many Jedi have gone to the Dark Side. The reason they're afraid of it is because it arguably can make you more powerful, particularly if you're like a Padawan or something, but if you're like Yoda, Mace, or even, me I guess, it's not much help. The Chancellor got control over the Order after the Seventh Battle of Russan. The Jedi had tried to wipe out the Sith and their dark side allies, apparently lots of non force users decided to help the Sith, but the Sith apparently blew themselves, and all Jedi nearby, up, but one, or two, as Yoda saw in the vision of the past, got away. Yoda somehow saw them training. This is what he saw:

Master: There must be two Sith. One to have the power and the other to crave it. One day you will train an apprentice. Once you are more powerful than me, you are to kill me and take the mantle of Dark Lord for yourself, Darth Zannah. If I die, then I'm unworthy of being the Dark Lord of the Sith anymore and deserve to die! (More Sith philosophy...arggh!)
Darth Zannah: Yes Darth Bane!

So you see, two, no more, no less. Also, Darth Zannah, who Yoda saw killed a whole family, and cut a man into 30 (or more pieces) and then used Sith sorcery on her cousin to make him go mad and attack the Jedi and they'd kill him out of revenge. Apparently Jedi do take revenge. Her cousin was the one I told you about earlier. The one the Jedi killed that they thought was a Dark Lord of the Sith. Zannah was only about your age, maybe even younger. That's why we're nervous about you, as you have a hard time controlling your fear.

Also, if you marry Padmé, what if she decides to leave you because, being a Jedi and on duty pretty much all the time, you're never around? Kit Mundi has to deal with that. Also, sometimes they've let Jedi have attachments, but that was before the Battle of Russan. Many Jedi defected to the Brotherhood of Darkness in that Battle. We were determined to stomp out the Dark Side.

Anyway, the Senate and the Chancellor thought the Jedi had caused too much death in their quest to stomp out the Dark Side and had caused needless deaths in a needless war, and the Russan Reformation gave the war power to the Senate and the Chancellor.

If the Sith convert Palpatine, they could just get him to disband the Order. That is why we must watch Palpatine, no matter his intentions, which seem very good as of yet. The day the Order is disbanded, is the day the Dark Side takes over the Galaxy!

Anyway, I found out from my buddy Dexter that that dart was from Kamino. I checked in the archives, but couldn't find it. The librarian wasn't much help. "If it's not it the archives, then it doesn't exist!". But a youngling helped me. A Togruta named Ashla said that somebody musta erased it from the archives. Yoda and I both know only a Jedi could do this. Looks like there may be a traitor within the Order. I've found Kamino, by the gravity of the planet and it's star. I'm going there. You go take Padmé to Naboo. The Separatists mean for war. I think the Sith want it too. Padmé wants to stop the war. If there's a war, we'll quickly be overwhelmed and a lot of Jedi will likely die. Oh, and that's probably what the Dark Lord of the Sith has in mind in masterminding all of this. It doesn't take a Jedi Master to figure that out.

Try not to get hyped up about your first mission on your own.

You're beginning the Trail of skill, as you may need to face more Separatists scum, and you won't have me to help you...or slow you down as you always claim.

Also, there's something I must know: NO, you won't be expelled if you say yes. Even Mace and I admit we have. In fact, it appears Master Yoda is the only one who never has, even once. Honestly. This is no trick. Have you ever thought of using or defecting to the Dark Side of the Force, using anger to make yourself more powerful, etc? I kinda did when that thing killed Qui-Gonn. I mighta not won otherwise. But I resisted pretty well, and so passed the Trials.

Hopefully you'll finally become a Knight and so I can be a Master and be on the Council and maybe try to change the Code. Though I kinda like the no attachment rule myself. It's too dangerous to repeal. It opens the path to sacrificing many for one or the few. Or the path to jealousy, and, ultimately, greed, as Master Yoda puts it.

Also, some lowlife tried to sell me Death Sticks.

Lowlife: Wanna buy some Death Sticks?

Me: (Waving my hand) You don't want to sell me Death Sticks.

Lowlife: I don't want to sell you Death Sticks.

Me: (Waving my hand) You want to go home and rethink your life.

Lowlife: (Getting up and leaving) I want to go home and rethink my life.

That adventure sure was fun.

Your Master

Seriously, you really are going on a mission of your own. This is no joke or test!

Bye bye.
